The Fishbowl: A Discussion Format That Makes Everyone Listen
The fishbowl discussion technique is a format where only a small inner circle of people may speak while everyone else sits around them and listens. To join the conversation, an observer takes an open inner seat and someone yields theirs. By limiting who can talk at any moment, it replaces the cross-talk of a big debate with genuine listening.
